Our invention consists in n novel arrangement of gear-wheels and spring slide for-windowonrtnin {detener-s;

i In the accompanying drawings- Figure 1 is a front -view of our window-curtain fastener` Figure `2 is afside view of the'same. Figure 3 is n. detached view of the. gear-wheels for operating thecord. f

In the construction .of our improved window-curtain fasteners the notched ploteA maybe of ordinary form, provided'with` notches, and a, slide, E, which carries the cord-wheel B. This slide and wheel are fastened at any desired-height, by menns'of u b'olt o r look, C', pressed' into the notches by means lof `the spring D, for t the purpose of holding the cord tight. The wheel B is cost with a. pinion, F, which gears into thewheel (l,
